Manuel Schoch's empowering approach to therapy focuses on what we truly are: human beings full of potential and promise - living manifestations of love.

Yes, you are what you eat. For everyone who wonders why, in this era of advanced medicine, we still suffer so much serious illness, Food and Healing is essential reading. “An eminently practical, authoritative, and supportive guide to making everyday decisions about eating that can transform our lives. Food and Healing is a remarkable achievement.”—Richard Grossman, Director, The Health in Medicine Project, Montefiore Medical Center Annemarie Colbin, founder of New York's renowned Natural Gourmet Cookery School and author of The Book of Whole Meals, argues passionately that we must take responsibility for our own health and rely less on modern medicine, which still seems to focus on trying to cure rather than prevent illness. Eating well, she shows, is the first step toward better health. Drawing on an impressive range of thinking—from Eastern philosophy to current medical journals—Colbin shatters many myths not only about the “Standard American Diet” but also about some of the quirky and unhealthy food fads of recent years. What emerges is one of the first complete works on: • How food affects our moods • The healing qualities of specific foods • The role of diet in preventing illness • How to tailor a diet approach that is right for you “I recommend it to my patients. . . . It's an excellent book to help people understand the relationship between what they eat and how they feel.”—Stephen Rechtstaffen, M.D. Director, Omega Institute for Holistic Studies “Have a look at this important, well-thought-out book.”—Bon Appetit

"By moving off-grid to a farm in the Wilno Hills of Eastern Ontario, Robbie Anderman left behind his former way of life, his allergy shots and pills, and the social supports that he was used to. He quickly discovered that he needed to learn how to live on the land that had become his home. Running down to the drugstore or herb shop to buy a remedy for what ailed him was no longer an option. Surrounded by nature’s pharmacy, he began gathering his own herbs. Then came the long winter when the most commonly used herbs were no longer available. In a land so populated with Trees, it made sense to look to them for healing. Thus began a journey of forty-eight years during which Robbie researched, nibbled, sampled, and learned the lore of the Healing Trees"--Publisher website.

Although the healing qualities of nature have been recognized and relied on for centuries as a valuable part of convalescence, recent history has seen nature's therapeutic role virtually eclipsed by the technological dominance of modern medicine. As the twentieth century comes to a close and the medical community reacknowledges the importance of the environment to recovery, the healing garden is emerging as a supplement to drug- or technology-based treatments. Healing Gardens celebrates this renewed interest in nature as a catalyst for healing and renewal by examining the different therapeutic benefits of healing gardens and offering essential design guidance from experts in the field. Unique and comprehensive, Healing Gardens provides up-to-date coverage of research findings, relevant design principles and approaches, and best practice examples of different types of healing gardens. It begins by exploring what current research reveals about the connection between nature, human stress reduction, and medical outcomes. It then presents case studies and design guidelines for outdoor spaces in medical settings that include general, psychiatric, and children's hospitals as well as hospices, nursing homes, and Alzheimer's facilities. Historical information, literature reviews, and studies on use are included for each type of outdoor space covered, offering important insights into what works in healing gardens-and what doesn't. Generously supplemented with photographs, site plans, anecdotes, and more, Healing Gardens is an invaluable practical guide for landscape architects and others involved in creating and maintaining medical facilities, and an extremely useful reference for those responsible for patient care.

Throughout her thirty years as a naturopath, consultant, and educator in natural therapies, Judy Jacka has pursued a quest to understand the inner or subjective causes for disease. In her clinical practice in Australia, she combines Esoteric Healing based on her metaphysical studies with natural therapies. Her latest book is a synthesis of natural therapies and Esoteric Healing written with the aim of inspiring healers and patients to become truly holistic. The book is divided into two sections with both theory to introduce the reader to Jacka’s concept, and practice, which is loaded with case studies illustrating both the health problems and their solutions. The resolution of outer causes such as internal pollution, poor nutrition, and inherited predispositions are described in the theory section with an analysis of the role for mineral, vitamin, herbal, and homeopathic treatment. The theory section then delineates the inner causes involving the etheric/energy body and chakra disturbances. The meaning of soul as the main healing factor is explored and explained. Inner factors conditioning health and disease include those subtle states of consciousness that condition the chakras and electromagnetic fields underlying our physical organs. Part 2 is divided into sections that correlate to the main systems of the body such as the immune system, gastrointestinal system, circulatory system, and nervous system. The case histories for each section describe both the physical remedies and subtle healing techniques used and the subsequent progress of each client. *Contains numerous practical exercises to promote truly holistic healing *Judy Jacka, with over 30 years experiences, presents a system for understanding and treating both the inner and outer causes of disease
